Correct Answer: Rs. 80
Solution : Given: A = Rs. 2400 R = 5% T = 4 years $\therefore$ True Discount = $\frac{A\times R\times T}{100+R\times T}=\frac{2400\times 4\times 5}{100+20}$ = Rs. 400 $\therefore$ Simple interest − True discount $=\frac{\text{True discount}\times R\times T}{100}=\frac{400\times 5\times 4}{100}=$ Rs. 80 Hence, the correct answer is Rs. 80.
